Obstacle to overcome in order to be your best self: Take full responsibility for your complex feelings. It never helps anyone when we blame others for our feelings. You need to own your responses, reactions, and emotions.
Virgo (August 23rd-September 22nd)

Obstacle to overcome in order to be your best self: Learn how to quiet your mind. This is no easy feat for you super-analytical Virgos! Quieting your mind will not only calm your nerves, but will help you better take care of your own needs and accept yourself and others no matter what.
Libra (September 23rd-October 22nd)

Sagittarius (November 22nd-December 21st)

Obstacle to overcome in order to live your best life: You have to accept that things won’t always work out the way you envision, and that’s OK. People are not perfect. You are not perfect. If you can learn to let go of the ideal, it will allow more room for the beautiful reality.
Capricorn (December 22nd-January 19th)

Pisces (February 19th-March 20th)
How to get what you really want in life: Let yourself flow with the changes life throws at you. Realize that for the majority of Pisceans, there is not one path or direction your life “should” take. Your flexible nature is a gift, so learn how to listen to your inner voice to help guide you as you transition from one phase to the next.
Obstacle to overcome in order to live your best life: Try to look at things realistically sometimes. Your tendency to romanticize things can get in the way of what you really want. The grass is not always greener on the other side, no matter how lovely you envision it.
